It took months to find the right tree
to build on, and when he did the spot was on public land looking down
on a row of multi-million dollar homes.But that didn't stop Joel Allen - he just built this incredible egg-shaped treehouse in Canada anyway, without telling anyone.

The computer technician-turned-carpenter started off by creating a scale model of his design to test its strength and durability, before beginning the months-long quest to find
the perfect tree.Without the money to buy
property, he decided to do it on Crown land in the forests of Whistler....illegally.
